Overview
At the meeting of the East African and Southern African biomes lies Ruaha National Park. Its unique coming together of different habitats means you can be on the lookout for everything from lion and impala, to cheetah and baboons. Your shaggy-roofed home in this exciting and highly underrated reserve is Kigelia Ruaha, an old-school camp that has just what you need to eat well and have a good night’s rest – nothing more, nothing less. Experienced campers will love the fun and novelty of a traditional bucket shower.
Guides at Kigelia Ruaha are permitted to take you on nature walks and to do night drives – the perfect ways to see so much more, from the smallest creatures to shy nocturnal animals
